إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ
Surely in this is a sign. Yet most of them would not believe.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
And your Lord is certainly the Almighty, Most Merciful.
وَإِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئۡتِ ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
˹Remember˺ when your Lord called out to Moses, “Go to the wrongdoing people—
قَوۡمَ فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ
the people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear ˹Allah˺?”
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ
He replied, “My Lord! I fear that they will reject me.
وَيَضِيقُ صَدۡرِي وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِي فَأَرۡسِلۡ إِلَىٰ هَٰرُونَ
And ˹so˺ my heart will be broken and my tongue will be tied. So send Aaron along ˹as a messenger˺.
وَلَهُمۡ عَلَيَّ ذَنۢبٞ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقۡتُلُونِ
Also, they have a charge against me,1 so I fear they may kill me.”
قَالَ كَلَّاۖ فَٱذۡهَبَا بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسۡتَمِعُونَ
Allah responded, “Certainly not! So go, both of you, with Our signs. We will be with you, listening.
